Reduction of P death by fln-2(ot611) masks effects of high copy number sir-2.1 over-expression (oe) on lifespan. a Lifespan and b necropsy analysis of sir-2.1(oe) and control strains used in previous studies. GA strains are indicated by solid lines: GA468 geIs3 sir-2.1(oe); fln-2(ot611) (blue) and GA707 wuEx166; fln-2(ot611) control (black). LG strains are indicated by dashed lines: LG394 geIs3 sir-2.1(oe) (blue) and LG398 geIs101 control (black). sir-2.1(oe) reduced P death and extended lifespan in LG strains but not GA strains, consistent with both previous, conflicting studies21,22. Error bar represents s.e.m. of three trials. See Supplementary Table 4 for full statistics. See Supplementary data 1 for raw mortality data. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. c Lifespan and d necropsy analysis of sir-2.1(oe) and control strains after backcrossing four times with N2H. GA outcrossed in solid lines: GA1909 geIs3 sir-2.1(oe) (blue) and GA1907 wuEx166 control (black); LG outcrossed in dashed lines: GA1913 geIs3 sir-2.1(oe) (blue) and GA1915 geIs101 control (black). sir-2.1(oe) strains (blue) from both labs showed a reduced frequency of P death compared to control strains (black) in fln-2(+) background. See Supplementary Table 5 for full statistics. ad Trials conducted in the presence of 10 μM FUDR. See Supplementary data 1 for raw mortality data. e Lifespan and f necropsy analysis of backcrossed sir-2.1(oe) and control strains, with FUDR excluded. Colour coding as in (c, d). See Supplementary Table 7 for full statistics. See Supplementary data 1 for raw mortality data. g sir-2.1(oe) and 10 μM FUDR interact to protect against progression of bacteria infection. Pharyngeal invasion and widespread infection were scored in worms fed RFP-expressing bacteria. Colour coding as in Fig. 1c. Mean of two trials, n = 16–20 per time point in each trial
